Sam McCaig at The Hockey News looks at 15 pleasant early-season surprises including Michael Del Zotto...3. Michael Del Zotto, Rangers
It’s a surprise he made the Rangers out of training camp in the first place. It’s a surprise he’s leading all NHL rookies in points (nine points in 10 games). And it’s a surprise he’s leading all NHL defensemen in points.
Only Dion Phaneuf, with five goals, has more goals among D-men than Del Zotto’s four. And no blueliner has more than Del Zotto’s three power play markers. Not bad for a 19-year-old.
Del Zotto, in fact, has been handed the keys to the Rangers’ power play and he’s driving it a 27.3-percent clip right now, which translates to an NHL-best 12 man-advantage goals for the Rangers through 10 games.
...it's a surprise how many of these stupid lists are out there.
